Hippohemo
1910-1950
Imagine needing an energy boost so bad you require the strength of a horse—this poster advertises 'Hippo Hemo,' a tonic playing on the French phrase 'Pur Sang' (meaning thoroughbred or pure blood). A striking red horse is visually leashed to a golden bottle topped with a festive umbrella, creating a surreal link between equine power and the drink. The bold red and black color scheme screams 1930s Art Deco advertising, designed to grab attention on a busy street. It’s a fantastic example of modernist wit, using visual puns to sell the idea of liquid vitality.
